When I first visited Arch Rock several days before this, I started up to the top of Dead Center Hill, but decided to turn around. This day I made it to the top. And what surprises I was to find there!
First up was a chair sitting on the northern edge of what turned out to be a surprising flat top of the hill. Immediately I thought: who put this chair up here, and why? An answer to the second question was given when I reached the chair and stared down at the wonderful view of Wilson River below, perhaps 150 feet down from here. The view would be even more spectacular in the winter when the leaves had completely falling off the trees. That seemed to be the answer, then: this was a chair to sit on and enjoy the great river vista.
The chair appears to have been here for a long while.
Rocks on the hilltop.
And another chair nearby, this one without any cushions or back, as if they had been purposely removed. Why, if so?
There were many interesting seeming rocks on the top. I’ll definitely go back soon and record them in greater detail.
And then yet another chair appeared in front of me as I continued down the flat top, heading south by southwest. I approximate this would be about the center of the hill. Dead center, I suppose.
At first, I thought that bit of projecting foam on the seat could be another toy avatar (!). Why is this chair in better shape than the other 2 already encountered?
A cool pine tree… and then, behind it, yet another chair. A chair hanging in a tree.
Nearby rocks.
